While sitting on the bus next to a weird Kid......

Everyday i would go on the bus to school when i was a child. There was this weird kid  in the bus that would do  crazy, weird things that would  even gross out other children.I still remember his name, his name was Chris and he was like three years younger than me.Well this weird kid would always be eating his boogers on  the bus and it was so disturbing and gross (nasty)seeing him.I remember that he liked this one girl at the bus and he would still do it in front of her and he really didn't cared.Well the thing is that he would always eat his boogers on public no matter if people would see him.I also remember that i would scare him by telling him "Hey christian, Don't eat your boogers because them you will have worms at your stomach," He wouldn't cared or listened to me because he would still do it.Even the girl he liked would tell him that, that was so gross and that, that was so bad for his health but he would only ignore.Also this weird kid would make weird noises on the bus and he would reacted all crazy and started laughing by himself.

Well the whole purpose of writing this story was because i wanted to say that the actions of this child in my bus were all folkways because he would do crazy, weird ,gross things in society that would make the people around him feel disturbed and gross out but with out a harm on them because he would only affect himself by looking totally out of a group and by looking as a weird outstanding person that does nasty things that doesn't make him look good in society.This is related to my Sociology class because we earned about Folkways and Norms and Taboos and other things that are actions of people that make them break one of this terms.For example in my story this child Chris was breaking a Folkway because he was eating his boogers in public on the bus and he was doing weird noises and actions on the bus.
